Something's up...
I can't post images. I don't know why not.
Every time I try, I get the URL inside the tags, not a picture.

I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is a problem with my picture host, or NS?

You need to cut off everything after the .jpg file extension.
Really? Odd... I guess that must be it, but I've been using urls from my host for eons without doing so.
Is that new? Or did MSN change something?
Anyway, thanks.

It could be the host. Some hosts block the ability to link to pictures like that because it uses up too much of their bandwidth. Perhaps that's what the "_Secure" bit in the URL above is for?
Also, that URL seems to point to a script or something like that, instead of a plain image file, which might be confusing whatever it is that handles retriving images in these message boards.

Well your problem is that the picture is not a JPG file. It has to be a JPG file, which usually means it is the only thing on the page. The link you paste in the code must be directly to the picture, not a page the picture is on. I'm guessing that is your problem because it was mine before too.
I showed above that all that was needed was the superfluous crap to be deleted off the end... sheesh.

LOL :roll:
It was a problem with the URL itself, not the host. The '?' breaks the img tag URL, otherwise it atleast would have had the common courtesy to show you a broken box. img tags need to end in certain strings (.jpg being one of the possible ones) to work...
